The other thread got full (?) so here we go again!

Nothing fancy, but I have the camera here, just after getting some "after" pics.


Removed 6 trees from near the barn and canopy raised 4. Cleared out some other trees in front of what will be a goat house/ enclosure.

Cleared out a row of trees that was between the house and a now gone quonset hut, canopy raising some cedars and fir for a view out to the pasture and creek.

We have a lot of lombardy's in the rural areas around here too. For some reason, they spook me out... Last one I pruned, we ziplined out 40' tip-tied deadwood sections. Talk about sh-t everywhere.
 
They only last about 30 years here and get maybe 50ft at most. I have never seen one anywhere near 100ft tall. What a crappy tree!
 
Friday's lunch money job.

As Scott gets older we might get another lift, but for at east the next 5-10 years I figure he'll be climbing. Maybe longer with the Wraptor, I don't really have a frame of reference. Me using a lift would harm my working relationship with him, thus there is no advantage to me unless there is advantage to him. Lastly I can make more money on the ground than in the tree by a large margin.
 
Thanks, Stephen. Waiting for parts to come in for the hexacopter so I can add another dimension to the footage. I can easily see another 2 GoPros being helpful.
 
Are you asking about my current lift? It was ran hard and generally mistreated by a 19-23 year old fella and I wouldn't have it on my job site these days.
